The beauty of a forum is that we can voice an opinion without the possibility of receiving a bloodied nose...
As I said previously name calling and demeaning put downs shouldn't be tolerated, period. If we would like to debate a political decision affecting RV'ing that some donkey or elephant had come up with, like ummmm, banning fulltiming in my 28' Prowler then I believe it should be allowed... but hey, I don't own the forum and I am not king (damn). There IS a reason the avatars for the major political parties are what they are... we never forget and the other guys are a bunch of asses! Opps, that just maybe way too political, sorry.
JMHO on this subject... :-[
